How to choose components?

If you’ve never bought components before, it’s a bit intimidating. Some stores have A LOT of different components.

But once you get the hang of it – it’s easy peasy And suddenly you’re not limited by the supply of one store. The whole world is your shopping center.

Here’s a tip for beginners:

DigiKey has about every component that exist in the universe. That’s great, but a bit overwhelming. Start your search by using a more hobby-oriented shop like Sparkfun or Bitsbox. There you’ll find the most standard transistors, resistors and capacitors that usually works for most beginner projects. Find the part numbers and use these to order from whatever store that has the best shipping option for you.
